| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

Online petitions rarely work, though. I signed it anyways, but I think rhinos are doomed. |

White, Black and India all have a decent chance at survival. Sumatrans and Javans don't have great prospects, but their not dead yet. I signed up, it can't do any harm at least. |

Indian rhinos and some populations of white rhinos might have a chance, but black rhinos are poached by everyone and their mothers. It's lie they have a fetish for killing rhinos. |

They are doing fairly well in Southern and Eastern Africa, I doubt Blacks are going any time soon. |

Online petitions have no legal base, and the idea that the EU can stop China from buying horns from Africa is impressively egotistical. I very much doubt the EU can even follow up with something rash and showy. |

Why be so negative? It's better than DOING NOTHING FFS... In Autralia, online petitions do make a difference, the government does listen. I don't know about other countries. In the laws of most countries, there is no law about "petitions" - and generally they have no legal basis (whether on-line or on paper), but a 10,000 signature petition demonstrates the level of feeling that politicians should be respecting on topical issues. |

In the US petitions do carry legal weight. The idea that a half formed plan is better than nothing is something that confuses me to no end. As I said the EU has no power, no reach, and no gunships. |

Not heard of Operation Atalanta? Just because there is no law does not people won't listen. It's better than nothing. |

Escorted aid is completely different than remote enforcement. The EU can't ban the trade because the trade doesn't enter the EU because it's already illegal. Unless you tag every rhino in Africa and have an osprey gunship showup whenever a rhino's heart stops there isn't much to do besides cutting of all their horns again. |

That doesn't work, though some South Africans are experimenting with implanting horns with chemicals that ruin the horn when it's cut into. It's not going to be practical in large reserves, but in smaller private ones it shows promise. |
